PS2 Extension Cables ???

I'd like to surprise my husband with an extension cable for his PS2 so he doesn't have to sit on the T.V to play his game.

I'm not up on the lingo so I'm having trouble finding the right thing. I checked eBay but all the sellers have A LOT of negetive feedback so I'd like to buy from an etailer.

Suggestions? Thanks all! :-D

I know Best Buy carries this, as I got one several months back. I dont remember the brand name, but it was like $10 or so. It is what you say, a controller extension cable.

I saw one at Fry's that I thought was cool. It came on a spool and you plugged your controller into the center of the spool. Then you could unwind as much cord as you want, which you plug into your Playstation. This way, you don't have to have a ton of cord that you don't necessarily need, at the moment.

Yes, I probably over paid for extension cables. But since I didn't want the other cheaper third party cables. and I already had the Monster S-video and optical cable, it was ok for me to splurge but thanks for you input anyway.

Actually that is a good deal. Monster is a thicker gauge cable is better quality than Pelican or the other 3rd partys and it includes hook ups for 2 controllers. So he paid 20 for 2 good quality extensions.

I just bought a 7 foot Mad Catz extension cable at Best Buy for $4.99 yesterday.

It works fine. It comes on a spool and you plug the controller into the top of it and can wind out however much of the extension cable you need and then put the latch back over it. That's perfect for me because I only needed 2 or 3 feet to be comfortable. The cord would reach the couch before but just barely.

I also have the madcatz extensions, and they work great. BestBuy.com sells them for $6.99 with free shipping.

Go to Video Games: PS2: Accesories: Cables. They're hard to miss.
